Getting Referrals
* Look for referrals when you don't need the business, not just when you do.
* Prove that you're worthy of referrals.
* Let contacts know you desire referrals.

* Consider prospects as referral sources.
* Develop referral sources by asking for advice.
* Avoid direct solicitation.
* Convince referral sources that prospects will benefit more than you will.
